How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| C0 Ottawa as victim | Neutral weak | Declining to answer provocations is consistent with a country on the receiving end, but equally with the other postures; it is a brief statement. |
| C1 Ottawa opportunistic | Neutral weak | Nothing in the reply shows Ottawa using the crisis to advance its own agenda. |
| C2 Ottawa in no hurry | Fits weak | A calm, dismissive non-response with no formal reply is consistent with an Ottawa that is not rushing to end the dispute; it is only a statement. |
| C3 Ottawa coordinating with Washington | Neutral weak | A non-response says nothing about coordination with Washington either way. |
